Apple's iPod through the ages - in pictures

Apple has confirmed the death of its iconic iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano, dropping the music players from the Apple Store. Many people will remember these as among the first Apple products they ever bought, paving the way for the popularity of the iPhone.

Apple launched both devices in 2005 and discontinued them in 2017. In a world of generic looking iPhones, some of Apple's funkiest gadgets are now destined to shuffle off into history.
